Advanced Architecting on AWS

This course is focused around analyzing a monolithic application and determining logical break points where the application can be broken down across various AWS services. You will learn advanced development techniques to deconstruct on-premise legacy applications and repackage them into cloud-based architectures.

You will also learn to apply twelve-factor application manifesto concepts and steps while migrating from a monolithic architecture, along with using the AWS API, CLI and SDKs to monitor and manage AWS services

The course is recommended for experienced software developers who are already familiar with various AWS services. You will need at least one high-level programming language and working knowledge of core AWS services and public cloud implementations. We also recommend that you should have completed the Developing on AWS classroom course and have a minimum of six months experience in applying these concepts in real life
